FWIW, I don't remember case lengths of revolver cartridges varying more than .008"-.010" (when I did measure some which has been many years ago) and that much is negligible as far as flaring is concerned unless the minimum amount of flare is being used on the "long" cases. I started reloading 38 Specials in 1969 and 357 in 1975 can't remember trimming one in all that time. I have measured some just out of curiosity and have never had a problem with roll crimping, profile crimping, taper crimping or flaring. Case lengths for revolver cartridges just aren't all that critical...

For the OP's problem, K.I.S.S. and just add some flare...
